Child Support
Support that is fair, accurate, and actually paid.
What this covers
Accurate support calculations, modifications after major changes, and enforcement when payments stop.
Your first step
Collect recent income records, the overnight schedule, insurance costs, and childcare expenses.
Typical timing
Timing depends on financial disclosure, disputed income, and whether both parents agree on the inputs.
Review my support situation →Child support should be simple math — but the inputs are where cases are won or lost. Our office handles original support determinations, modifications when life changes, and aggressive enforcement when payments stop.
Whether you are paying or receiving, the goal is the same: an accurate order, entered fast, that actually gets followed.
The approach
How the firm handles this
-
Get the numbers right
Florida’s guideline formula turns on real income, overnights, insurance, and childcare costs. We make sure every input is honest — including income the other side would rather not disclose.
-
Set an order that fits real life
Guidelines are a starting point, not a straitjacket. Where deviation is justified — special needs, extraordinary expenses, seasonal income — we argue it with evidence.
-
Adjust when life changes
Job loss, promotions, new custody schedules — support orders can and should be modified when circumstances substantially change. Waiting costs money you cannot recover.
Common questions
Asked in almost every consultation
How is child support calculated in Florida?
A statutory formula combines both parents’ net incomes, the number of overnights each parent has, health insurance, and childcare costs. The formula is mechanical — the fight is almost always about the inputs, especially income.
What if the other parent hides income or works for cash?
Courts can impute income based on earning capacity, lifestyle, and work history. We use discovery, subpoenas, and when needed forensic review to put real numbers in front of the judge.
Can we agree to no child support?
No — child support belongs to the child, not the parents, and courts will not approve a waiver. What we can do is make sure the calculation is accurate and every legitimate credit is applied.
